Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Maxis Crossmark with Stans on my 2 29'ers and 26" commuter, never had an issue with bleeding. If they're the LUST crossmarks, then that's why. Tubeless ready sidewalls and bead, therefore very unlikely to be porous enough to let sealant or air through.
Sbloomer Posted October 13, 2019 Author Posted October 13, 2019 This usually happens when you don’t have tubeless ready tires. What tires do you have?They are Bliss Ready Spez Ground Control and Fasttrack I run them exactly in the middle of the recommended pressure range (3.5bar)
BigToe Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 They are Bliss Ready Spez Ground Control and Fasttrack I run them exactly in the middle of the recommended pressure range (3.5bar)I ran the same...Spez GC on the front and FT on the back. Never had an issue, but then I'm not running Stans, but the oatmeal type sealant.I did have the weeping issue on a Conti, but i topped up a little more than needed and it sealed after a few days of riding...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Its a Spaz thing...Not only spaz. It's a porous sidewall thing. Spaz / Maxxis / Schwalbe etc. All the lower strength sidewalls could suffer from this, if they're worn down to the fabric (as in the OP's case on teh sidewalls) or just due to porosity.

They’re only just a year old and haven’t even done 2000km
seven Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 They’re not worn down to the fabric. They’re only just a year old and haven’t even done 2000kmBut they are... look at the patterns that the sealant is making. It follows the fabric lines where the sidewall rubber has worn down (cracked) due to flex of the sidewall while riding...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 They’re not worn down to the fabric. They’re only just a year old and haven’t even done 2000kmBut they are. Those diagonal lines are indicative of a Tyre that is just below optimal pressure and has been rolling in the corners thereby revealing the underlying fabric of the casing. At those lines, it is worn to the fabric and will seep sealant.
DieselnDust Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 But also bruise tyres are a year old. For such thin rubber thats old age. More sealant will keep it going but it’s only going to get worse and the side walls will be more prone to tearing as the rubber hardens from being worked

At those lines, it is worn to the fabric and will seep sealant.Then I don’t understand. They’ve never been ridden below 3.5 bar (and are rated at 2.5 to 4.5 bar). I check pressure before every ride So the Spez ratings are wrong or are they just rubbish?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 3.5 bar!? Why!? Should never be that hard. EDIT: this may also contribute to it. Internal pressure (50psi) forcing the sealant out those striations which may also have been caused by brushing up against rocks (not very likely but possible) or just overinflation.
Kranswurm Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 The day they invented 2bliss tyres I never looked backDont even know what tubeless ready means except leaksWho cares about the weight
MORNE Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 The day they invented 2bliss tyres I never looked backDont even know what tubeless ready means except leaksWho cares about the weight i run 2.5-3.0 tubes in 29x2.6 tires with sealant.Never had an issue or flat....who cares about the weight? mine have been set and forget.imo at what point does 'performance' and inconvenience intercept lol?
Eldron Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 If you run non tubeless tyres with sealant the sealant leaks out at all the seams of the tyre (in lines diagonally along the sidewall). If you run tubeless ready tyres the same will happen but a lot less. If you run full UST tyres no sealant will run out. Weight goes up and feel goes down as you go more tubeless. You need to make your choice where along the line you're happy.

Why bother with printing ratings on sidewalls when they are meaningless.
MORNE Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Ok so it’s now overinflated. Why bother with printing ratings on sidewalls when they are meaningless.I'm with you on this....if the thing has a min and max printed on it...it should be good at either end of the scale...not to mention EVERYBODY i know leaves a new tire at max psi overnight to stretch it out since the tires do that anyway over the first few rides.
